1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Members of the Rho family of small monomeric GTPases regulate a plethora of critical cellular functions including gene expression, cell cycle progression, and the dynamic modeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Diversity among Rho family members is derived, in part, from variations in their subcellular distribution. Localization of newly synthesized (naïve) Rho proteins to target subcellular compartments is largely governed by lipid modifications, including posttranslational prenylation. Here, using well-established and widely available contemporary methodologies, detailed protocols by which to semiquantitatively evaluate the functional consequence of posttranslational prenylation in human trabecular meshwork cells are described. We propose the novel concept that posttranslational prenylation itself is a key regulator of mammalian Rho GTPase protein expression and turnover.
